Sandy S., Kensington Heights Co-Op, Milford, MI ,

Our basement went from a blank canvas to being functional and cozy. Exactly what we had in mind. From the moment the job started, the men who came and went from our home were exceptional. They always kept in mind that they were working in a home environment right up till the job was completed. And might we add, it finished on time. You kept to your word on timing and quality and we thank you. We certainly would recommend and use M.J. Whelan Construction for future remodeling ideas for our home.

HOUZZ.COM , 5 Star Review

Your team provided us with prompt and professional service throughout our project. Mr. Tim Burns was instrumental with providing us with ideas and design consultation within our budget. Further, our superintendent, Mr. Greg Janowiak, was excellent in the execution of our plan into reality. His diverse skill set, affable demeanor and problem solving abilities are outstanding, and always with a smile.
Thank you for a job well done!

Michael & Brenda Z. Milford, MI. ,

We always wanted a larger kitchen without sacrificing other rooms and you gave us the way to do it. Tim Burns created a brilliant kitchen design and cupboard layout. We are reminded daily how much more storage space we have and how functional everything is. We wish to thank you and everyone involved for their contribution in transforming our home into such a beautiful place.
